Project Name (from Project Proposal):
- Proposed name for the project:
External API Framework
- Proposed name for the repository:
externalapi
Project description (from Project Proposal):
- This project will describe and define the APIs between ONAP and External Systems, including ONAP interfaces targeted on BSS/OSS, peering, B2B, etc.
- Proposed initial focus may be on the Common APIs between ONAP and BSS/OSS; and Inter-Provider ONAP External APIs.
Common APIs between ONAP and BSS/OSS allow Service Providers to utilize the capabilities of ONAP using their existing BSS/OSS environment with minimal customization.
Scope of Work For Beijing:
- Deliver points of interoperability between ONAP and External Systems
- Initial focus on ONAP External APIs to BSS/OSS (i.e., MEF Legato)
- Service Catalog
- Service Ordering (including Service Instantiation)
- Service Inventory
- Service Topology (stretch goal) (specification focus)
- License Usage (stretch goal) (specification focus)
- Initial focus specification of ONAP External APIs supporting Inter-Provider (i.e., MEF Interlude)
- Service Control
- Service State (operational state)
- Service Inventory / Details
Explore Role-based view of single APIs descriptors for both Legato and Interlude
Alignment with MEF Legato, MEF Interlude and TM Forum APIs
Definition of Use Cases, Interactions, and Information Model engaging service providers and BSS/OSS vendors
UML Models (Eclipse Papyrus) (with Modeling sub-committee) and API definition (JSON Swagger) for
License Usage
Service Modeling and Service Topology
Service Inventory
Service State Management
Service Quality Management
Define API Styles to be applied to External APIs (along with Micro-service Bus (MSB) and Modeling Project)
API development (in conjunction with specific ONAP component projects)
- Well defined specifications for the NB APIs (e.g., JSON Swagger).
- ONAP implementation of these APIs
- Architecture for External APIs
- Identification and involvement of stakeholder ONAP projects
- Describe key External API foundation functionalites
- Work with Architecture and MSB projects
- Document the role and requirements of External APIs in Model Driven ONAP
- Work with Modeling project and sub-committee to explore a Model Driven approach: a cohesive way to have a shared view of information across ONAP external interfaces that can be used for or be input into a model driven process whereby the cost of delivering platform functionality is drastically reduced and the time to delivery is dramatically decreased.
- Explore use of Model Driven Tool Chain to automatically generate APIs based on models with Modeling Project
Deliverables:
Main deliverables of this project may include: User Stories; Use Cases and Interactions (e.g., UML); Information Models (e.g., UML); Data Models (e.g., JSON); Interface Profiles and Functional Definition; ONAP Component Mapping and Functional Analysis; Code contribution for External API Agent functionality.
